“ Jevon?” Kita asked.

“ Yea! Jevon! He looked good too shit! Why do you ask ? Do you know him?” Trevonne asked.

“ Oh I more than know him. I'm in love with him.” Kita said turning to Sherica “ Tyson is my ex boyfriend I've been telling you about. The one I messed things up with. I'm trying to get myself together now so we can work on getting back together.” Kita said frustration in her voice. “ I don't mean any harm when it comes to your girl Jazzlyn, but Tyson is my man. Period. No one is getting in the way of us working things out. Not even your friend Jazzlyn.” Kita said.

“ Hold up a damn minute” Sherica said.” Does this this Tyson dude even want to be back together with you?”

“ Sherica please. Tyson is white, but men are al the same. They have to be shown what they need .He needs me and I need him. Are you ready to leave?” Kita said walking towards the door.

Sherica looked back and forth between Trevonne and Kita

“ Y'all already know I don't bite my tongue for anyone. You two” Sherica said pointing her finger to the both of them” Are two delusional ass bitches. One of y'all strung out on that white dick and the other one strung out on the black dick! The crazy thing is neither one of those dicks want you...they both evidently want Jazzlyn!” Sherica said laughing al the way out of the door.

“Oh fuck you Sherica!” Trevonne said slamming the door.

I really don't want to lose Jazzlyn Trevonne thought. Let me just give her time to calm down and get it out of her system now that it's all out in the open. I wonder if I should cal Darien?

Moving Day

Trendi walked around the house doing a last minute pick up. I guess if I said he could stay here, I may as well let him be relaxed and comfortable while he's here. Trendi thought carrying the last boxes of her shoes out of the spare bedroom and into her overcrowded bedroom closet. Trendi smiled looking at her man Marcus sprawled across the been sleeping. Damn I love my homo thug Marcus! I finally found the one that accepts me for who I am. Shit. When he gets up I need to let him know someone is going to be crowding our little haven over here for the next few months but hey what can you do, it's family? Trendi heard her cell phone ringing and picked it up seeing Darien's name flash across the screen “ Hey little brother. I have your room al ready so whenever you're ready to bring your stuff ,come on over.” Trendi said “ OK, Cool. Man the day has been fucked up! When is the last time you talked to Jazz?” Darien asked.

“ Shoot you'd think we'd bump into each other more but I haven't seen Jazzlyns pretty black self in a few months why? I told you al that running around was going to get you in trouble sooner or later! Us girls will only put up with that mess for so long! Even when it's your first love like you were to Jazz. Jazzlyn closed shop on your ass huh ?” Trendi said wanting to laugh in his ear.

“Yeah for now. She found out I was fucking Trevonne.” “ WHAT! I never liked that high yella heffa! Your ass was dead wrong too. Oh well deal with it. I've always loved Jazzlyn...Jazzlyn is like the sister I never had. I'm going to make it a point to call her today and see how she's doing. Plus I want to make sure she knows...any bul shit having to do with you, makes no difference with our friendship! Trendi said. “ Now hurry up and bring your shit over here and when you get here don't make a lot of noise either .My boo Marcus came over here this morning when he got off work and is sleeping. Bye!” Trendi said hanging up the phone.

Tyson stepped off the elevator and walked down the hall to his office. Saying hello to people along the way. Tyson’s assistant walked up and greeted him.

“ Good morning boss man. Looking good as usual !” Casandra said smiling at him.

“ You do know you're sexually harassing me right ?” Tyson said laughing. In the short time he'd been at the company Cassandra was one person he didn't mind speaking with and showing his true self. At times.

Cassandra presented herself to be a real down to earth person and had always come through on everything work related.” Oh please! If I'm harassing you, you love it!”Cassandra said laughing. “ OK, so you have a meeting at 11am with that grocery chain wanting to go over their books because they have some huge discrepancies and they're up for an audit. At 2pm you have an overview meeting with the partners. Though that meeting is with several other lead accountants not just you. A monthly meeting sort of thing. Other than that, here are the remainder of your files for accounts you're currently working on. I think that's about it for you today. Keep in mind two of your accounts have deadlines this week.”Cassandra said looking over her notes.” Oh! One other thing” Cassandra said running out of his office. A minute later Cassandra walked in with a huge bouquet of red roses.” Look at these! Delivered for you about an hour ago. You must have made quite an impression on someone!” Cassandra said handing Tyson the attached card. Tyson took the card

“ Thanks Cassandra. I hope I did. “Tyson said smiling...Bye.”

“ Oh come on! Who is it?” Cassandra asked excitedly .

"None of your business nosy. Close the door on your way out.” Tyson said smiling.

When she left Tyson sat down at his desk and opened up the card.

“ Just a smal token to let you know I stil love you and want and need you in my life.

You never give up on true love. So I'll never give up on you.” Love Always Kita

“ Shit!” Tyson said aloud. Not this again he said to himself picking up the vase and walking to Cassandras desk. “Here you go. Today is your lucky day. Something pretty for your desk. “ Tyson said sitting the vase down.

“Umm OK? Thanks...I guess.” Cassandra said leaning over to smell the flowers.

Tyson's cell phone rang and he saw Jazzlyns face light up the screen “ Hey baby, what are you up to?”

“Hey yourself. I know you didn't do the walk of shame out of my place this morning. I didn't even know you'd left!”Jazzlyn said laughing.

“ I know baby, look everyone aint off all summer like you. I damn sure hated to leave you, but I had to leave and get ready for work. I did kiss you and rub on your booty before I left though.” Tyson said and they both laughed.

“ I know my time is winding up fast .Matter of fact I'm going out today to buy supplies I need for my class today. The school doesn’t give you anything to make your class nice and have fun activities for the kids. So it al comes out of pocket and it's not like they pay teachers much.” Jazzlyn said.

“ I feel you on that one. My mom used to get things for her kids all the time. Get whatever you need for your class baby don't spare anything. I'll give it all back to you tonight when I see you.” Tyson said.

“ Wait a minute Tyson you don't have to do that! I'll be OK.”

“ I know you can. I want to do it for you.” Tyson said.” I'm not trying to make you feel rushed or anything but like I said a couple nights ago, it's me and you. You don't have to do anything alone unless you want it like that. If I have it,you got it. Jazzlyn, another thing. Thanks for coming clean with Trevonne and Darien about that whole situation. I appreciate it a lot. Now by no means do I think the drama is over especially with the lies Trevonne told about us. At least I know we're straight and old ties to other people are cut.” Tyson said.

“ I definitely understand. You think he's going to still be tripping?” Jazzlyn asked.

“ Baby I don't mean no harm but you are a little trusting. It's not a bad thing though I like it. Man I've dealt with some bitter woman before and it's not fun.” Tyson said. “ Actual y something happened today I need to talk to you about.” Tyson said.

“ Tyson don't start no shit this morning OK ! After I already gave you the booty.” Jazzlyn said snapping.” Tell me now before you get home and I'm not feeling so trusting as you cal it.”

“ No it's nothing on my part baby seriously. Tyson said.

” When I got to my office a little while ago I had some flowers delivered to me. They were from my ex girlfriend from a year ago. I tell you no lie. I haven't seen this woman in a year but time to time she will call. I don't carry on any conversation with her beyond telling her to move on with her life and stop cal ing me. It's actually kind of odd she'd send flowers? She hasn't been that forward since our break up was fresh so this is kinda weird. I gave the damn roses to my assistant told her to enjoy them. That's all. I just wanted to let you know.” Tyson said.

“ OK Tyson. I trust you. Old girl needs to move on. I like you Tyson...a lot. I want you around a long time.” Jazzlyn said.” Are we having dinner together tonight? Your place or mine?” Jazzlyn asked

“ Doesn't matter. If you don't want to cook just order in somewhere or let me know and I'l pick it up on my way in from work. I feel like I need to see you right now. You're on this phone sounding all sexy. Bye.”Tyson said laughing “ Or I wont be able to get any work done thinking about what I want to do to you!”

“Bye. Have a good day” Jazzlyn said with a laugh.

Sherica started closing down her computer and was preparing to leave for her lunch break when Kita walked by her cubicle.” Hey Sherica, do you want to grab some lunch with me ?”

“ Thanks for asking Kita but I already have plans for lunch today. Maybe another day.” Sherica said standing and picking up her purse.

“ Also I wanted to tell you Sherica, thanks for being so nice and introducing me to your friends and everything. The last year has been pretty rough for me. Just a lot of personal drama with my mom and sister and my break up with Tyson. It can be hard when you don't have many female friends.” Kita said.

“ I can definitely understand that Kita, just introduce yourself to different people.

Everyone here is pretty nice so you wont have any trouble meeting people. Someone here always has something going on. Parties or meeting at different spots for drinks after work so just put yourself out there.” Sherica said. Kita really needs to keep it moving Sherica thought to herself. I hope she doesn't have it her head we're about to be joined at the hip just because we got together twice outside of work? Besides she's showing some signs her ass aint wrapped tight at al ! “ OK talk to you later Kita I've got to run so I can make it back here on time.” Sherica said.

“ Have a nice lunch Sherica.” Kita said.

Did Sherica just blow me off ? Kita wondered to herself. I need to stay tight with her ass especial y since I know she has ties to what's going on with Tyson and this new little girlfriend of his. I'll admit she's pretty but I don't give a damn about all that. Kita thought to herself. If I had never let my mom and sister move in with us we'd be married by now.

I know it. Kita pulled a picture of herself and Tyson out of her desk drawer and looked at Tyson. I wonder if he liked the flowers I sent him this morning Kita thought smiling to herself. Kita placed the picture of her and Tyson proudly on her desk.

Sherica dialed Jazzlyns cell number. “ Hey Jazzlyn! I'm just leaving on my lunch break, are you busy? I want to talk to you about a couple things. OK,good. I'l be at Cool Beans in about ten minutes. Bye.” Sherica said hopping into her car.

Jazzlyn spotted Sherica in a booth at Cool Beans. “ Hey Sherica, I'm glad you cal ed nothing is wrong is there?” Jazzlyn asked.

“Girl no, it's al good! Well besides all this drama that's been going on with you,Trevonne and Darien. So you know me Jazzlyn. I like to keep things on the up and up. I've known you for a long time and you're one of my best friends as well. I just want it to be clear between us that just because Trevonne is Isiah’s Aunt it doesn't mean she gets a pass from me." Sherica said.” I real y wanted you to know I had no idea what Trevonne was up to until our girls night the other day. You know you had her fucked up when you said you were going to meet up with Darien!” Sherica said laughing.” I let her know she was dead wrong for what she was doing. I'm not making any excuses for her but for a woman with so much going for herself Trevonne has low self esteem. I think a good therapist is needed in my opinion.” Sherica said.

“ I know Sherica,but at this point right now I can't even
think
about dealing with Trevonne on any level. Girl when I ran up on her and Darien talking they told it all!

Trevonne had been sleeping with Darien for ten months. There's no coming back from that Sherica !” Jazzlyn said holding both her hands up and waving her ten fingers in the air. Trevonne acts like just because I initiated the break up and complained about him I should forgive her. It's not happening.” Jazzlyn said.

“Well girl I can definitely understand that. You wont hear me trying to plead Trevonnes case because she was in definite friendship violation. Now this is what I
really
wanted to hook up with you to touch on...now from what was said I take it you're dating some new

fine
ass white dude right ?” Sherica asked.

Jazzlyn smiled “ Yes girl. I mean I don't want to give him too much credit because it's still new but seriously Sherica this guy...Tyson's his name is the straight up business! All areas are covered with him if you know what I'm saying ? Jazzlyn said smiling.

“ You wench you! Girl did you give him some ass ? Girl how was the dick ?” Sherica asked leaning in. Jazzlyn leaned in and whispered...”Sherica girl the dick was off the chain! Hell I even told him, I thought white guys were supposed to have smal dicks?”

“ Tyson laughed at me and told me to stop watching bad porn and listening to my friends who've never even dated let alone slept with a white man. Called my ass right on out!” Jazzlyn said laughing.

Sherica was laughing “ I know girl because hell I was sure believing it! Hell does he have a brother? Because these dudes I've been meeting aint about shit!” Sherica said taking a bite of her Cobb salad.

“Sherica let me tell you though, I almost messed it all up between us though! Now you know I've always dated brothas right. Tell me how I happened to find a white man that was raised in a black family!” Jazzlyn asked.

“ What do you mean? He has a lot of black friends?” Sherica asked.

“No. He's al white...his family is al black ! His birth mom and his mom were best friends and his birth mom was killed in a car accident when he was three years old. So long story short he has always had a black family.” Jazzlyn said.
